He is serving a 24 year term in jail for killing a security guard by ramming his SUV into him, but beedi tycoon Mohammed Nisham seems to be leading a VVIP life in prison.

His brothers have filed a complaint before the Thrissur Rural Superintendent of Police, R Nishantini, alleging that Nisham had threatened by calling them from his mobile phone, from Central jail in Kannur, where he is lodged.

The complaint letter, written by Mohammed Nizar addressed to the police chief states that Mohammed Nisham has been calling him and his colleagues and threatening them.

“His main demand is to give him a major share of the family run business so that he can use it to run the case against him. When my brother and I met him last month, he threatened us and said that if we don't agree to his demands he will kill my kids and wife,” stated Nisham’s brother’s complaint.

Media reports claimed that Nisham frequently gets in touch with his business associates, wife and other relatives, using mobile phones, which has also been claimed in the brother’s complaint to the police.

He has been using two mobile phones in the jail. The jail authorities are providing him all facilities. When Nisham was taken to Bengaluru to collect evidence, he called me from his friend’s mobile phone and continued threatening me,” the complaint adds.

Nisham’s brother has also sought police protection in the complaint.

Chief Minister takes note

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Facebook has stated that he has taken note of the issue and has said that he has sought a report from the jail Superintendent of Kannur on the issue.

Nisham had rammed his Hummer against security guard Chandrabose (51) after brutally beating him up as he was reportedly angry over the delay in opening the main gates of the posh residential complex 'Shobha city' in Thrissur in the early hours of January 29 last year.
